We are happy to offer this item in a multitude of configurations, all selectable from the dropdown choices above; your final price will update when you select your desired options.

With all the possible options we offer to finish our lockets, it was impossible to photograph every possible combination! The sample photos above are shown with a selection from each finishing group. However, we are more than happy to send you a photo before purchase of your desired options put together so you can see how your final product will look. Simply send us an email with your choices for each of the drop down items above that you would like to see together and within 1-3 business days, we'll get back to you with a photo of your specific combination.

For our modern lockets, we've offered a few of our more popular finishing options to complement each locket; however, we do also carry a full line of pocket watch chains and ladies slide chains with a multitude of different accents and findings. If you see a locket you like but would like a different finishing option than those offered above, simply choose the "locket only" option before adding the locket to your cart, and then head to our pocket watch chain or slide chain necklace pages and add the style you'd like to your cart as well. We'll then attach your selected locket to your chain for you!

We currently offer the following finishing options. Selecting from the dropdown choices above will provide a photo. Click on any of the following selections below for a detailed description of that finishing option.

Albert-style pocket watch chains

Locket is attached to a medium weight, quality Sterling silver plate, or 24k gold plate, or Hematite black plate pocket watch chain. The 6mm links on these chains are a flat, interconnecting style with a slight bevel to each link and are finished with a very high grade .925 solid silver plating, a 24k solid gold plating (both very close to a gold filled quality), or a Hematite black (black with lustrous tone) plating, all on a solid brass base, with a thin sealant to prevent tarnishing. The three lengths of the chain (1 long and 2 short segments) are attached via a center connector ring. All feature high quality materials we're proud to carry due to their overall appearance and durability. Offered in the following options:
• 8" (with spring ring finding): locket is attached to the drop of an 8" Albert style chain featuring a spring ring finding, plus a heavy swivel with secure interior latch to secure to the bow of your watch. 1.5" drop chain is ideal for attaching the locket and is finished with a small spring ring to facilitate easy addition and removal of fobs.
• 16" (with t-bar finding): locket is attached to the drop of an 16" Albert style chain featuring a t-bar finding, plus a heavy swivel with secure interior latch to secure to the bow of your watch. 2" drop chain is ideal for attaching the locket and is finished with a small spring ring to facilitate easy addition and removal of fobs.This 16" length Albert chain may be worn in the traditional style (as on a gentleman's vest) or also as a necklace; both configurations are pictured above when the 16" chains are selected.

Depending on the "Finishing Option" you choose above, you will see different photos that show our items against example backdrops, including sweater and vest displays. Click on any of the following selections below for more information on the size of these displays relative to our finishing options.

Slide chains (shown with sweater)

Our example photos show our items against a backdrop created from a women's medium-sized sweater with the chain displayed in what we call a "double-wrapped" style. Depending on the style in which you are looking to wear your chain, we offer that for someone with a slender build or short to average height, you can expect the shown item to hang off your person similar to the photo. If you are petite, have a larger build, or are taller than average, please note the chain will hang differently off your person than shown.

As a rule of thumb on an average-build woman, if you want to wear the chain long and have the swivel reach your waistline, we recommend chains 24" or shorter for heights under 5'4", 22" to 26" for heights 5'4" to 5'8" and 24" or longer for heights over 5'8".
If you are looking to wear the chain double-wrapped, we suggest a chain between 24" and 28" in overall length for the swivel to rest above your bustline, and a chain between 26" and 30" in overall length for the swivel to rest at your bustline. Adding one of our optional connectors to your chain design will add approx. 1" to the final overall length.

Necklace (shown with sweater)

Our example photos show our 15" - 18" necklace against a backdrop created from a women's medium-sized sweater for reference.

Pins (shown with sweater)

Our example photos show our items against a backdrop created from a women's medium-sized sweater for reference, with the pin displayed in the traditional "lapel" position.

Albert watch chains (shown with vest)

Our example photos show our items against a backdrop created from a men's medium-sized vest. Depending on the style you are looking to create with your chain, we offer that for someone with a slender build or short to average height, you can expect the shown item to hang off your person similar to the photo. If you have a larger build or are taller than average, please note the chain will hang differently off your person than shown.

As a rule of thumb, on an average-build male, we suggest straight or Albert style chains 10" or shorter for heights under 5'8", 10" to 14" for heights 5'8" to 6'2" and 14" or longer for heights over 6'2". For Double Albert chain styles, we suggest 20" or shorter for heights under 5'8", 18" to 30" for heights 5'8" to 6'2" and 24" or longer for heights over 6'2".

Albert watch chains (shown with sweater; 16" only)

Our example photos show our items against a backdrop created from a women's medium-sized sweater. The pocket watch chain has been fastened around the neck of the display by connecting the swivel clasp (normally used to attach a watch or fob) to the t-bar end of the chain to create a necklace, allowing the "drop" of the chain to display the locket as a pendant.

Key chains (shown with vest)

Our example photos show our items against a backdrop created from a men's medium-sized vest for reference.
